Great finish by the Celtics tonight. Garnett playing strong and Rondo continues looking like one of the best guards in the league.

I just woke up drunk. GO Celtics! Beat the HEAT!

They won't beat Wade's Heat

Hope they do though

There is one thing that seperates Rondo from that group though...everybody on that list is a current or future HOF..except Rondo

Damn, the Celtics are already flying to Miami. I didn't think it would be that fast.

Guess we'll have to revisit this post in 15 years or so. If his current progress continues or he just keeps on being the best pg in the NBA for half that time he will be in hof discussion.

He isn't and never will be the best PG in the NBA.

if he can shoot like he did last night then not a single pg in the league can sniff him! get out of here with that haterade, even a laker fan in myself sees it

He can't shoot like that every game though and never will be able to. He's a great passer and set up man but he'll never be a great shooter or scorer.

Freak thats what a PG does.

They need to be able to score and shoot also in this NBA. I'd take Rose over Rondo anyday.

Ok so you would take probably the best PG in the league over Rondo? Yeah Rondo sucks

With no regard to age I'd take Rose(AI 2.0), D-Will, Nash, Parker, & Paul. Maybe Westbrook, but I think he's a ticking time bomb. Not a fan of his. Maybe Irving in a few years too if he keeps getting better. That puts Rondo in the 5-10 area.

Didn't Rondo go for 38, 15 and 10 vs the Bulls this season?

Do Ed Malloy and Dan Crawford have contracts with the Heat?

GTFO with Rose being AI 2.0.

AI was great in his day...no insult

And Rose is taking steps towards him as well...jacks way more shots than he ever used to before

Well, Rose has to compensate for an offensively challenged supporting cast like Iverson used to. Though Rose supporting cast features much better scorers than AI ever had around him in his prime.

Westbrook is much closer to AI than Rose is.

Totally agree.

Yeah not just scorers though either. The Bulls are probably 5 times better than any team AI ever played on. That team he took to the finals was terrible and he actually beat the lakers in a game in the finals.

My prediction is Rondo goes big tonight.

The Spurs are playing at a historic level!

NO got the number 1 pick, CHA 2nd and WAS the 3rd
